Maddie's Baptism (Part One)

Maddie turned 8 and was baptized a couple of weeks ago on September 7th.  I can't believe my little girl is 8 years old.  Where has the time gone?  She looked to beautiful in her dress.  I loved her comment after coming out of the water, "The water was so cold"  Leave it to Maddie to let you know how it really was.  Her cousin Grace and her dear friend and soul sister Linda gave the talks.  William led the music and Josie & cousin Kat gave the prayers.  Of course, daddy baptized her and confirmed her a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  What a special day it was to have so many people come and celebrate Maddie's big day.  She is truly loved.  The room was over flowing with her adoring fans.  I am so proud of your decision to be baptized Maddie!  I love you.

Aunt Tina had to help make her slip a little bit shorter so it wouldn't show

I just love this gorgeous girl
